Beautiful book. Two little girls from a rural area in Maine in the 1930s or so help their father dig up clams on the beach near their home and then go with him to pick up supplies in the nearest town, a boat ride away. A lost tooth, ice cream cones, feeling proud to be big enough to go to town . . . and then coming home to mom and a special lunch. Warm, charming, and a wonderful story.
